Gold making guide: Farming Cloth

Selling cloth on the Auction House is a good way to make gold. There is usually a stable market for it and from my experience cloth is one of those items that will usually sell fast the first time you post it on the Auction House. One thing to be careful of when selling cloth on the Auction House is to not flood the market with tons of cloth or continually post auctions undercutting other prices because you will drive the price of the cloth down.

The chart below shows the various types of cloth you can farm for gold and the average buyout price for it on the Auction House. As you can see, the profitability of different cloth types varies, this is due to the fact that some cloth is very easy to get and some cloth has a very high demand. Felcloth has a very high selling price but one thing to keep in mind is that Felcloth is hard to get and there is a limited demand for it since it is an old world cloth that is used by very few recipes. In fact, I wouldn't advocate farming it, but it can be a bonus if you happen to loot some while farming Runecloth.

Cloth Types	Average Buyout Price on Auction House
Linen Cloth	5s each (1g stack)
Wool Cloth	10s each (2g stack)
Silk Cloth	5s each (1g stack)
Mageweave Cloth	25s each (5g stack)
Runecloth	20s each (4g stack)
Netherweave Cloth	15s each (3g stack)
Frostweave Cloth	75s each (15g stack)

Below you will find maps for some of the best places to farm cloth. I have also included some information about instances since instances are often really good places to farm in if you are a higher level. When farming for cloth it's important to consider not only the drop rate of the cloth off of the mob but the number of mobs in an area. It's better to have 30 mobs in an area with a 50% drop rate than having 10 mobs in an area with a 75% drop rate because with fewer mobs it's likely that you will have to wait for mobs to respawn.

Farming Linen Cloth
Besides the maps that I have shown below other good areas to farm Linen Cloth are in the Ghostlands and Westfall.

Below you will find areas for farming Linen Cloth in Silverpine Forest. The areas on the map have a 42-55% drop rate of Linen Cloth.

Note: Pyrewood Village to the south is friendly to the Alliance during the day but at night the residents turn into mobs which are kill on site. The Horde can kill the mobs here any time.



Below you will find areas for farming Linen Cloth in Loch Modan. The areas on the map have a 42-46% drop rate of Linen Cloth.



Farming Wool Cloth
Besides the areas in the maps below, you can also farm Wool Cloth good in The Stockade and Blackfathom Deeps. If you are Alliance I strongly suggest that you try The Stockade if you are farming with a high level character.

Below you will find areas for farming Wool Cloth in Ashenvale. There are some areas that are friendly to one faction or another so in those areas I have marked whether or not the Horde or Alliance can kill there. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 24-31% of Wool Cloth.



Below you will find areas for farming Wool Cloth in Redridge Mountains. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 25-28% of Wool Cloth.



Farming Silk Cloth
One of the best places to farm Silk Cloth is in Scarlet Monastery, if you have a high level character I strongly suggest you try Scarlet Monastery because of the high amount of mobs and good drop rate of silk.

Below you will find areas for farming Silk Cloth in Alterac Mountains. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 34-37%.



Below you will find areas for farming Silk Cloth in Dustwallow Marsh. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 39-43%.



Farming Mageweave Cloth
If you have a high level character I suggest trying out Zul'Farrak if you are looking to farm Mageweave Cloth. Otherwise the two zones below are quite good for finding Mageweave. One of the maps I have included is for the Horde only and it is one of the best Mageweave Cloth farming locations.

Below is the Horde area for farming in Blasted Lands. This is an excellent area to farm Mageweave and the area on the map has a drop rate 45-47%.



Below you will find areas to farm Mageweave Cloth in Tanaris. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 26-46%.



Farming Runecloth
One of my very favorite places to farm Runecloth is Strathholme. It has a decent drop rate of cloth, blues, and other items to sell, which is why it's featured in the Instance Farming section of this guide. You can also find lots of Runecloth in Dire Maul, Blackrock Spire, and Scholomance.

Below you will find areas to farm Runecloth in Eastern Plaguelands. There is one area in the north that is for Horde only and the areas in the south are elite mobs. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 41-47%.



Below you'll find areas to farm for Runecloth in Hellfire Peninsula. The areas on the map have a drop rate of 40-44%.



Farming Netherweave Cloth
While you can get Netherweave Cloth out of Outland instances, I have had better luck farming in Shadowmoon Valley and Nagrand.

Shadowmoon Valley is a great place to get cloth because there are so many humanoids with good drop rates throughout the zone. The areas circled on the map have a drop rate of 39-51%.




Nagrand is also a great place to farm for cloth. One thing to note is that some of the mobs in Forge Camp Hate and Forge Camp Fear are elites. The areas circled on the map have an average drop rate of 40-49%.




Farming Frostweave Cloth
Because Wrath of the Lich King is the latest expansion it's a little more difficult to farm for cloth in Wrath instances so your best bet for farming Frostweave is by visiting Sholazar Basin and Icecrown.

Below you will see cloth farming locations in Sholazar Basin. The areas circled on the map have an average drop rate of 39-45%.



Below you'll find locations for farming Frostweave Cloth in Icecrown. The areas that are circled in the map below have an average drop rate of 35-48%.

Eternal Farming guide

The word farming often conjures up images in players minds of someone sitting for hours trying to grind out on mobs in one spot in order to make a few gold. Others think of mass numbers of people sitting at computers for 12 hours at a time grinding on mobs for 25 cents an hour. Whatever image farming brings to your mind, discard it. I've included some of the most popular items to farm right now and the best places to get these items so that you don't need to spend hours getting the items you need or items you want to sell.

Farming Eternals
Eternals are the bread and butter of level 80 crafting professions. They sell at high volume on the Auction House because they are needed for dozens of high-end items. Fire, Air and Water can be farmed by Engineers (see Engineering). In this section I'm going to share the areas I use to farm Crystallized Earth, Shadow, Air, Water, Earth & Life along with which mobs, their level and the drop rate.

There are several places to farm each Eternal, even places that are ideal for low to mid level 70s. However, the best place to farm Eternal for overall profit is Wintergrasp but only when your faction has control of it. Shadow, Earth, Water, Air and Life can all be farmed in the central and western regions in a big loop as drawn below. Follow the solid red arrow around collecting Water, Earth, Water, Shadow, Life and then Air. If one section is too busy with other farmers you can move on to the next. After doing the loop a few times I'll head over and farm some Fire as well (dotted red arrows):




To avoid having to deal with tons of Crystallized Eternals in your inventory, copy this macro and use it to combine when your inventory starts to get full.

#showtooltip none
/use Crystallized Fire
/use Crystallized Shadow
/use Crystallized Air
/use Crystallized Water
/use Crystallized Earth
/use Crystallized Life

Eternal Fire
Eternal Fires can be farmed by killing mobs or Engineers can use a Zapthrottle Mote Extractor.

Wintergrasp
In Wintergrasp Flame Revenants and Raging Flames can be found on the plateau on the east side. However, you can only see and kill the Revenants when your faction controls Wintergrasp, so there's little use farming here if that's not the case. Otherwise, this is the best place to farm Eternal Fires. Always race for the Flame Revenants because they have a 100% chance to drop Crystallized Fire while the Raging Flames only have a 25%chance to drop them.



Storm Peaks
The Storm Peaks is a great place to farm Eternal Fires because they will also drop valuable Relics of Ulduar. It would be the best place if there weren't so many people doing Sons of Hodir quests. You will need to have completed the Sons of Hodir before the elites in the area turn friendly. The Seething Revenants drop Crystallized Fire 25% of the time.

The Wailing Winds are inside the cave to the north west of the Seething Revenants and have a 25% drop rate.



Borean Tundra (recommended lvl 70-75)
The Raging Boilers in southwest of Bor'Goror Outpost have a 20% chance to drop Crystallized Fire. This is a great place for level 70-75 characters who want to make some gold or need Eternal Fires.



Eternal Water
Eternal Water can be farmed by Engineers with a mote extractor, see the Engineering section for details. Eternal Water can also be fished (as Crystallized Water), but this is not an effective way to farm them (see the farming section for more details). The best places to kill mobs and loot Crystallized Waters are outlined below.

Wintergrasp
Wintergrasp is the best place to farm Eternal Waters at level 80. If your faction controls the zone. Otherwise, you will not be able to see or kill the Water Revenants which have a 100% chance to drop Crystallized Water. The Glacial Spirits have a 25% drop rate. Follow the edges of the lakes pulling the mobs out to the surface to fight them.



Storm Peaks
Inside and outside of this cave there are Icebound Revenants which have 25% chance to drop Crystallized Water.



Sholazar Basin
The Aqueous Spirits on the west side of the zone (accessible only with a flying mount) have a 25% drop rate.



Zul'Drak (lvl 76-80)
Zul'Drak is a surprisingly good place to farm Eternal Waters. The Frozen Earths are only level 76 and 77 so they can be farmed earlier than 80, they have a 25% drop rate. The Crazed Water Spirits also drop 25% of the time, they also are low level and are in high abundance. This is a great place to farm Eternal Waters and level your mid 70s characters.



Howling Fjord (lvl 70+)
The Ice Elementals south of Fort Wildervar have a 20% drop rate and are only level 68-69. This is a good place to level and make gold.



Dragonblight (lvl 74+)
In Dragonblight there are two mid level places to farm Eternal Water. In the south east and near the north border. These both have a 15-20% chance to drop Crystallized Water.



Borean Tundra (lvl 70+)
There are a ton of Frozen Elementals off the south eastern coast of Borean Tundra. They have an 18% chance to drop Crystallized Water and can be farmed at level 70.



Eternal Shadow
Eternal Shadows are tough to farm unless you're a Miner (in which case you'll have a lot of extra). They are best found in Wintergrasp when your faction has control of it otherwise in north eastern Dragonblight.

Wintergrasp
Wintergrasp is the best place to farm Eternal Shadows, however your faction needs to have control of Wintergrasp or you won't be able to see or kill the Shadow Revenants (100% drop rate). The Wandering Shadows should always be visible and have a 25% drop rate.



Dragonblight (lvl 72-80)
This is the only other place to farm Eternal Shadows. The cave in the north east has Deathbringer Revenants with an 18% chance to drop Crystallized Shadow. These can be farmed as early as level 72.



Eternal Air
Eternal Air are best found in southern Wintergrasp or north eastern Storm Peaks.

Wintergrasp
Eternal Airs are best farmed in Wintergrasp, but only when your faction controls the zone. Otherwise, you will be unable to see or kill the Tempest Revenants which have a 100% chance to drop Crystallized Air. The Whispering Wind have a 25% chance to drop them.



The Storm Peaks
Scion of the Storm are the second best place to farm Eternal Air. They also drop Relics of Ulduar which are worth bling on the Auction House. The Scions have a 25% chance drop rate of Crystallized Air. Enter from the north on your flying mount.



Sholazar Basin
The Storm Revenants on the western plateau have a 25% chance to drop Crystallized Air.



Grizzly Hills (lvl 76+)
This is a fun place to farm Eternal Airs. The scattered Lightning Sentries have a 19% drop rate of Crystallized Air. This is a great place to level and farm at the same time.



Borean Tundra (lvl 70+)
This is another great place to level and farm Eternal Airs at the same time. The Storm Ragers in the east have an 18% drop rate and the Enraged Tempests have an 18% chance drop rate.



Eternal Earth
Miners end up with a ton of extra Eternal Earths which drives down the prices. Otherwise, they can be found in central Wintergrasp when your faction controls it or eastern Storm Peaks.

Wintergrasp
If your faction controls Wintergrasp this is the best place to farm Eternal Earths. When your faction doesn't control it you won't be able to see or kill the Earthbound Revenants (100% drop). You will always be able to see and kill the Chilled Earth Elementals (25% drop).




Storm Peaks
Brittle Revenants are the second best mobs to farm Elemental Earth, since you can also farm Elemental Fire and Relics of Ulduar all at once. These may not be available if you haven't completed the Sons of Hodir quest chain.



Sholazar Basin (lvl 76+)
The Lifeblood Elementals in Sholazar Basin have a 25% drop rate and are in high abundance. These are good for level 76-80 characters to level and make gold.



Grizzly Hills (lvl 76+)
This is another great spot for level 76-80s to level and farm gold. You can farm elemental Air and Elemental Earth at the same time. The Runic War Golems drop crystallized Earth 18% of the time.



Eternal Life
Herbalists get a lot of Eternal Life from herbing and this extra supply drives prices down. They are best farmed in south western Wintergrasp when your faction controls it or in central Zul'Drak.

Wintergrasp
The Living Lashers are available in Wintergrasp regardless of whether your faction controls the zone or not. They have a 25% drop rate and are an excellent place to farm Eternal Life.



Zul'Drak (lvl 76+)
The Mossy Rampagers in Zul'Drak are easy to kill and sport a high drop rate of 25% considering their mid 70s level. This is a great place for mid level 70 characters to farm Eternal Life while gaining experience.



Dragonblight (lvl 71+)
The Woodland Walkers in Dragonblight are another good place for level 71+ characters to farm Eternal Life and gain experience, they have an 18% drop rate.



Howling Fjord (lvl 70+)
This is a really good place to farm Eternal Life. The Thornvine Creepers have an 18% drop rate, spawn very fast and are really easy to kill since they are only level 69-70.



That's it. Now go make a fortune farming eternals.

Arena video guide: Basic Terminology

For people who just hit level 80 in World of Warcraft, or just started playing arena's it can be a daunting task. The learning curve is so frustrating because you have to learn not only about your own class but everyone elses... But there are things you can do to get better faster.

Over the next month we will try to help people learn the arena fundamentals via a video guide. Later on we will go through more advanced stuff, but first we will be trying to break the learning curve.

This first video is about the Basic Terminology in Arena PVP.

Make Gold on BC pets

Mana Wyrmling - Item - World of Warcraft


This pet is purchased from Dealer Rashaad - NPC - World of Warcraft In Stormspire, Netherstorm.

The purchase price of the pet is 40g, and I usually sell them on the AH for 100-150g each. I know this is dependent on your current server economy and such, but it is a good side job for that extra cash.


Red Moth Egg - Item - World of Warcraft

Blue Dragonhawk Hatchling - Item - World of Warcraft

Both of these are purchased from the same vendor for 10g each. I am usually able to resell for 50-100g in the AH.


I buy 15-20 of each at a time and keep one to two in the AH at all times. It sometimes takes a day or 2 to sell it, but they always sell.


Hope this Helps!

Under ICC, invulnerable to fall damage ( Video)

Basically, mount up and jump off the gunship after you win the gunship battle. You need to dismount right after jumping off and get slowfalled so you successfully pass over all of the invisible killer walls. Run into an invisible kill wall and die, then have the rezer stand as close as possible to the kill wall and rez you. You will bug out and become invulnerable to both kill walls and fall damage.

THERE IS NOTHING INTERESTING UNDER ICC AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.

Pull ANYTHING from ANYWHERE [DK ONLY]

So after doing some tests in World of Warcraft myself on chains of ice in it's buggy state, I found out a weird bug that can be exploited for awesome things like boss pulls.

There are only little requirements, namely;

• You are able to set up a focus target.
• You are able to cast chains of ice on a focus target.
• You are specced into Endless Winter.

Once you got all these, simply put focus target anything attackable that is near you, and in the main target window you get the target which you want to pull (with /target )
Cast chains of ice on your focus target (/cast [target=focus] Chains of Ice) and Frost Fever will be applied on your main target while you are casting on your focus target.

This works from ANY range :] check out below:

Heroic Training dummy in my main target, other one in my focus




Showing the endless winter talent




Casting chains of ice on the focus dummy, applying frost fever to the main target dummy (Watch the chains of ice animation on the focus dummy)



And finally, targeting a dummy that is far out of range, and not even in line of sight getting Frost Fever from me casting chains of ice on the focus target.




This can be used on ANY mob as long as your able to target him, and there is anything attackable nearby (A critter, anything works !)

Hope you guys can pull of some funny ninjapull with this ;D

First Aid Powerleveling guide

First Aid is a secondary skill in World of Warcraft that can help reduce your downtime by providing instance healing bandages from cloth. If you are vendoring cloth, you can increase its value by making it into bandages first and you can usually sell bandages to other players for a solid profit. You will need the First Aid books that are provided by vendors throughout the game to learn all of the skills. You can find these books in the following locations.

Basic Information
Use the following information as a basis for your decision whether to choose First Aid as a secondary profession. Generally, First Aid is not considered a solid gold making profession, as it is used to support your own healing. The only real way it is helpful in gold making is if you do not feel like going to the Auction House to sell your cloth; you can then upgrade cloths to bandages and make a better profit from Vendors.

Leveling Up First Aid from 1 - 450

Leveling up First Aid is a fairly straightforward process. After training as a First Aid Apprentice, take note of the materials you will need. If you are going to be training when you are already leveled up or if you have some gold, buy these items before hand from the Auction house and have them on hand. Also, keep in mind these are minimum values; occasionally, the numbers don’t work out quite the same, so you will need to buy a few more. Be aware when this happens.

• 120 – Linen Cloth
• 105 – Wool Cloth
• 90 – Silk Cloth
• 70 – Mageweave Cloth
• 110 – Runecloth
• 60 – Netherweave Cloth
• 250 – Frostweave Cloth

Level 1 - 75

To start, create linen bandages until you reach Level 40. When you have reached Level 40, train with your skill trainer to make Heavey Linen Bandages and continue making Heavy Linen Bandages until you reach Level 75. You should be able to level up with each bandage you make if you switch over at Level 40 exactly.

Level 75 - 100

Train your Journeyman First Aid skill at Level 75 and then proceed to make Heavy Linen Bandages until you reach Level 80. From here, learn how to make Wool Bandages and start making Wool Bandages until you reach Level 115. Level up your abilities again to learn how to make Heavy Wool Bandages and make these until you are skill Level 150. This should take you through all of your remaining linen and cloth bandages.

Level 150 - 225

Before you continue, stop and buy the following manuals:

• Expert First Aid: Under Wraps
• Manual: Heavy Silk Bandage
• Manual: Mageweave Bandage

You can find the Expert First Aid Manual with your Expert trainer and the other two manuals with the following vendors:

• Horde – Balai Lok’Wein – Brackenwall Village in Dustwallow Marsh
• Alliance – Deneb Walker – Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands

After getting all of the necessary abilities you need, start making Silk Bandages until you reach skill Level 180. From here, make Heavy Silk Bandages until you reach skill Level 210 and then proceed to make Mageweave Bandages until you reach skill Level 225. You will need to read the manuals and learn the skills when you reach the associated skill Level for that particular manual.

Level 225 - 300

To become Artisan in First Aid, you must complete a quest. For the quest, you will need to have at least 80 Mageweave Cloth and 75 Runecloth on you. Here are the steps for the quest you need to complete:

Horde – Talk to Arnok in Ogrimmar. Then Talk to Doctor Gregory Victor in Hammerfall and accept Triage

Alliance – Talk to Nissa Firestone in Ironforge. Then Talk to Doctor Gustaf VanHowzen in Theramore and accept Triage.

To complete the quest, heal the solders with the bandages given to you by the doctor. Make sure to heal them in the order of Critically Injured, Badly Injured, and then Injured. Do it very quickly and make sure you can target all of them at once. It might take a couple of run throughs to make things work properly, but when you get it, it should be pretty easy. Now, stay in these cities for now as you will want to be here until you are Level 290 in First Aid ( you need the skill trainer again).

Make Mageweave Bandages until you reach skill Level 240, then learn how to make Heavy Mageweave Bandages from the Doctor and make these until you are skill Level 260. Learn how to make Runecloth Bandages from the Doctor and make these until you are skill Level 290. Finally, learn how to make Heavy Runecloth Bandages from the Doctor and level up until you are skill Level 300.

Level 300 - 375

You will need to buy the following books to learn your First Aid skills in Outland:

• Master First Aid: Doctor in the House
• Manual: Netherweave Bandage
• Manual: Heavy Netherweave Bandage

You can buy your manuals from:

• Horde – Arasella in Falcon Watch
• Alliance – Burko in Temple of Telhamat

Read the Master First Aid manual and start making Heavy Runecloth Bandages until you reach skill Level 330.

Now, read the Netherweave Bandage Manual and level up your skill to 360 with these. Finally, read the Heavy Netherweave Bandage Manual and make these until you reach skill Level 375. You should now be completely leveled up as quickly as possible in First Aid.

Level 375 – 450

After training as a Grand master, learn how to make Frostweave Bandage and start making them until you get to level 400. Now, you will need to go and find the Manual:Heavy Frostweave Bandage. This is going to be a random drop off of mobs in Zul’Drak. You can find a good drop rate around 33,80 or if you really need it, you can pony up for it at the Auction House. After you have learned this, make heavy frostweave bandages until you reach level 450.

How to AVOID getting the Dungeon Deserter Debuff and farm instances effectively!

Going through an instance and just not making any progress? Hate your group? Guildies want to run something else and you're tied up in a dungeon run? Blizzard implemented a Dungeon Deserter debuff to prevent you from just bailing out on your group - a hefty 15 minute debuff that prevents you from joining up in another instance, making so if you do join another group and they're looking for more people, they won't be able to use the LFG tool until it wears off of you.

However, there is a simple work around this. You see, you cannot recieve the Dungeon Deserter debuff when you are dead! Simply die, then right click your portrait and leave the group and wait a second. You should get a message that says "You cannot do that while dead". Once you get that then you're free to release and free of any nasty 15 minute deserter debuff.
